The New York Times has a fun interactive challenge. Can you balance the budget?
No I'm not going to provide a link.
If you succeed you are better than the entire 111th Congress
Obvious highlights include:
Cutting defense spending by ludicrous levels. (GREAT idea during a war on two fronts)
Increase taxes on whatever you can.
National Sales tax
Carbon Tax
Missing.
Repeal Obamacare
(estimated at 10-20 Trillion over the next ten years)
There are cuts to some government programs but they are small potatoes. I bet we can get real savings by eliminating the BATFe IRS ....the list is endless.
Problem is the cuts with the most impact (on Social Security/Medicare) are never going to happen. It would be political suicide to even suggest it.
